The anticipation continues for Vinesh Phogat and the nation as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has once again delayed its verdict on the wrestler's appeal. Originally expected on August 14 at 9:30 PM IST, the announcement has now been rescheduled for August 16.
This marks the second time the verdict has been postponed, extending the uncertainty surrounding Vinesh's case. Vinesh Phogat had appealed against her disqualification from the women's 50kg freestyle wrestling final, a decision that has sparked widespread discussion and controversy.
The CAS ad hoc division heard arguments from both sides last Friday and was initially expected to deliver a decision on Saturday. However, the deadline was extended to August 14 and has now been further delayed.
The delay in the verdict has heightened the tension surrounding the case, with fans and supporters eagerly awaiting the outcome. The new deadline for the announcement is now set for August 16, leaving the country in suspense for few more days.
